Anyone who bought the original Skullgirls will get Encore for free, though as a completely new game, none of the downloadable content in the original edition is compatible with it. Achievements, leaderboards and gamesaves also will be reset.

The game never disappeared from Steam because its PC version had a different publisher. A release date for Skullgirls Encore on Xbox 360 hasn't been announced yet, but in a post to NeoGAF yesterday, Lab Zero's Peter Bartholow said they would be submitting the game to Xbox Live arcade "early next week." That version of the game will be a patch, meaning DLC, achievements and leaderboards will transfer.

Skullgirls Encore arrives with the new downlodable character Squigly, who also is free.
